Prepare for the Holiday Season!
Did You Know? More cooking fires are reported on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year.

Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries. To ensure the safety of yourself and your loved ones, it is essential to prioritize cooking safety during the holiday season. By following simple precautions, you can reduce the risk of fires and enjoy a safe and festive celebration.

4 TIPS to Protect your Family, Community, and/or Place of Worship

Watch What You Cook: Fires can start when heat is too high. If you notice smoke or boiling grease, turn off the burner immediately.
Secure Pot Handles: Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove to prevent accidental spills or bumps.
Prepare for Emergencies: Keep a pan lid or baking sheet nearby to cover a pan if it catches fire. Turn off the heat and allow the pan to cool.
Clear the Stovetop: Keep flammable items away from the stovetop to minimize fire risks.

As an entity of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency, the mission of the U.S. Fire Administration is to support and strengthen fire and emergency medical services and stakeholders to prepare for, prevent, mitigate and respond to all hazards.

Affirmations That Heal, Strengthen, and Restore

Affirmations are simple, positive statements that help retrain the mind and silence the voice of negative self-talk. When you speak life over yourself, you interrupt old patterns and create mental space for confidence, hope, and healing to grow.

Start small. Choose one affirmation and say it with intention each morning. Let the words settle into your spirit. Over time, these gentle repetitions build resilience, shift your perspective, and anchor you in possibility.

✨ I am worthy of peace.
✨ I make choices that honor my healing.
✨ I give myself grace as I grow.
✨ I am becoming stronger every day.

At Barbara’s Lighthouse, we believe small daily practices become powerful tools for inner strength. Keep speaking life. Keep choosing compassion. Your mind will follow the direction of your words, and your future will begin to shine a little brighter each day.
